One of the messers from Boy’s class he doesn’t like walks into the burger place where we are.

Mrs: “Oh look, it’s [name]. Do you want to catch up?”

Boy: “I’d rather catch Covid”

I have trained him well.

I'm on a train, looking out of the window at the fields going by, and I find myself thinking "man, that's some good parallax scrolling". :-D

@Blerkotron Is it a train down to parallax city, where the back moves slow and the front moves quickly?

Unbidden thoughts. Apps I would miss if I moved from macOS to Linux:

  • Acorn (paint app)
  • Affinity Designer
  • Screenflow

@Middaparka If you need Xcode then I guess you’re stuck :)

@Middaparka I use Sublime Text, which has a native Linux version. GIMP would probably replace Acorn, DaVinci is a sledgehammer to replace Screenflow for video editing but it would work, and I assume there are screen capture tools. Inkscape may one day rival Designer but not yet.

I think most of my retro gamedev toolchain will work as-is.

I’m mostly wondering what I will do when it’s time to replace my Intel i9 MBP.

I currently have three Amiga emulators running on my mac, one of which is running in Windows inside VMWare. And a real A500/030 beside me running too.

@davet Yeah. Normally FSUAE is fine. But I’m updating some WHDLoads and discovered I was patching out FSUAE emulation bugs and those patches were actually making the game worse on everything else! That’s why I’m testing on WinUAE and real hardware for this.

Working on a WHDLoad patch was not on my bingo card for today.

I watched Atlas on a whim, and yeah, that’s a movie I’ve seen now.

The last bus takes the long way to my stop, and it’s a hoof from there. Might be home before midnight.

Bailed home early. Too tired today. Had all the pints and played all the games I wanted … except for that guy that hogged Galaga getting 40Ks.

I am in the arcade. Been here a couple of hours but I’m sotired I might bail on home early.

Apparently, at some point, started deleting accounts that hadn't logged in for a year. I guess it was mid-2000s the last time I logged in. So much for history.

@ponder What did you use to log in?

@ponder Tried that but no luck :/ Oh well.

I have to bbq burgers then go for drinks and arcade games later. It all seems like a lot TBH.

I tried logging in with my ICQ number and password but I guess they changed the login system some time ago.

@nivrig@mastodon.social avatar

@fd_vgn Yeah I saw that. I just wondered if I could still log in :)

Heads up to anyone using facebook or insta: you'll receive a notification about your data being used to train AIs. The opt out process is deliberately convoluted and you have to fill out a form to object. This is what I wrote in mine, and the objection was immediately registered as successful, so feel free to copy.

Masto reply bores, this is not a post on which to fart out your opinions about Meta or AI or whatever. So don't. I'm sharing helpful info for people who need it, not for you.

@stavvers I threw in a bit about GDPR as well. Instant grant. Cheers!

I was asked what the first movie that ever scared me was.

It's impossible for me to say. Go far enough back and memories of movies blur into a single thing.

I can say it was black and white and had Peter Cushing in it.

@selzero Alien, which I watched late one stormy Halloween night when I was 10 and should have been asleep.
